The food and drink folks at Thrillist.com assembled "a crack team of experts" to find the best craft brewery in every state - and it should come as no surprise to Richmond beer lovers that The Veil Brewing Co. in Scott's Addition was named the best in Virginia.

"It really hasn’t been that long since the Veil poured their first beer during the grand opening in April of 2016, but so much has happened since. In barely over two years, they’ve become a household name in craft beer fan circles, putting the Scott’s Addition taproom as a “must visit” for anyone making can pilgrimages," Thrillist writer and owner of Alphabet City Beer Co. Zach Mack wrote.

The "crack team of experts" found the best breweries in every state by looking at the quality of the beer, the size of the brewery and, if a smaller brewery, whether it's a "place that's inspiring fans to drive hours for its beers."
